Es 9:1-2


Esther 9:1-2
KJV 1 Now in the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same, when the king's commandment and his decree drew near to be put in execution, in the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to have power over them, (though it was turned to the contrary, that the Jews had rule over them that hated thememoticon 2 The Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to lay hand on such as sought their hurt: and no man could withstand them; for the fear of them fell upon all people.

2001 Translation
Esther 9:1-2

1 Well after that, the leaders came to me and pointed out that we had not yet separated the people of IsraEl (or even the Priests and Levites) from the peoples of the land and the disgusting things of the CanaAnites, Hittites, Pherezites, Jebusites, Ammonites, Moabites, Moserites, and Amorites. 2 For [many] had taken their daughters [as wives] for themselves and for their sons. So the seed of what is holy had become mixed with the peoples of the land… and even the governors and generals had become involved in this breach-of-contract.

These are my thoughts, please share yours.

1 They had not sanctified themselves; they were still impure because they were with all those who weren’t set apart for God. We as Christians are to be set apart from the ways of the world but we are to interact with the world thru shining the light of Jesus.

2 They weren’t to marry outside the Israelites this is due to it would bring in pagan gods, this is the same as we Christians aren’t to marry an unbeliever. Children being brought up in this way could confuse the child; this contract was one with them and God. We have contract with God as a Christian; we are to live by His word and what He wants.
